I've been trying to identify without success the following.
Around 1975 - 76, there was a BBC schools programme which covered media and on this occasion Surrealism. This was in my minds eye an item made on film stock.
Two distinct sequences stick in my mind; in one the Surrealist movements intentions were outlined by a narrator over the sequence from the film 'UN CHIEN ANDALOU' where an unseen figure sharpens a Barbers razor then draws it across the eye of a lady in a 1920s hat. In this shows context it was matched to the music of Georgi Lygeti from 2001 A SPACE ODDYSSEY and cut just before the gruesome bit.
The other outlined how Surrealist art had influenced commercial art on L.P. sleeves. The cover of the album TOE FAT c. 1969 was shown. This photo montage depicted two naked men from the waist up in a desert setting; whose heads were replaced by the undersides of toes.
I thought it had originated in the series OMNIBUS; and had been re edited with the title sequence for the then current series of SCENE?
That sequence showed a spinning drum topped with cut out images including King Kong which eventually stopped to show the SCENE logo.
I couldn'e find anything that fitted this on INFAX but I'm sure it was a BBC programme.
Can anyone help?
